Shining sun, blue sky, refreshing in "Holy See", a great atmosphere among spectators and athletes and a fantastic race - the Tristar111 Estonia has offered everything an athlete’s heart can desire.
A heart and a statement
And the people who were there have shown their heart! They have demonstrated that it is not just about swimming, cycling and running: in cooperation with Livestrong™ the TriStar111 Estonia has launched a fundraising campaign for Tallinn’s Children Hospital and its cancer unit. Dedicated volunteers have informed the visitors to set the spotlight on this crucial topic and collected donations. At the end of the weekend everywhere around Püharjäve supporters could be seen: wearing a yellow Livestrong™ bracelet, as a sign of solidarity and of active support!
MANY THANKS FOR THE SUPPORT to all donors!
Through the activities during race weekend in Püharjäve we were able to collect almost 15,000 Kroons for the little cancer patient. Money, which enables the children much needed help in your fight against cancer.
Benefiting Tallinn’s Children Hospital
In Estonia the public health care institutions cannot cover all potential costs for the full medical treatment of cancer patients. In fact some additional medication treatments require extra budgets. The Tallinn’s Children Hospital is committed beyond measure for his patients, and in order to give them the full treatment extra funds are needed- up to 10.000-20.000 Kroons (around 650 – 1.300 Euros) per child. The money collected thus could already cover an extra medication for one child.
And what about the other 19?
We should follow this path further on- no, we must. Every child and every cancer patient should get the best possible treatment! Each year an average of 20 children are diagnosed with malignant tumors in Estonia. And these children desperately need our help. Donate too and help the children at Tallinn’s Children Hospital to win the fight against cancer! Every single donation helps!
In the process of registration for TriStar111 Estonia 2011 each athlete gets the opportunity to donate a certain amount in order to serve this purpose. We also offer a permanent online donation tool, in which each and every one of us is called to act as a fundraiser by encouraging his friends and family to join the initiative. The most successful fundraiser will be rewarded with a free entry for 2011 and might also become the TriStar Livestrong ambassador for 2011 in Monaco’s event.
In cooperation with Livestrong™ TriStar supports local projects and institutions that are united by the fight against cancer.
